I've got a little question, well two.

Is it possible to change the bookmarks font size and those separators ?.

And if it is possible to change the separators , is it also possible to use an img for them ?.

Thanks! :D

( Awesome thread btw, give me a lot of ideas to play with ).

Just curious because I'm rather new to all this css stuff

Is there any advantage of border-color: transparent over border: none?

Can't see any difference between our code snippets.

border:none completely removes the border while border-color:transparent maintains the border while making it transparent.

Basically you lose the width of the border if you remove it completely.

border is shorthand for border-style/width/color, so you're setting the style to "none" which removes the border completely.

border: none is the same as border-style: none

Good explanation :)

I am trying to update this style for Firefox 4.0 RC but I have a problem.

http://userstyles.org/styles/40211/

Some AppMenu items without "iconic=true" attribute can't be styled as an iconic menu, such as appmenu_newTab (New Tab), #appmenu_customize (Options), #appmenu_help (Help).

I tried the usual

-moz-binding:url("chrome://global/content/bindings/menu.xml#menuitem-iconic-noaccel")

to add the icon, but it didn't work.

so I tried all possible bindings I could think of, nothing worked.

any ideas? please!

adding .splitmenu-menuitem to

menuitem[label]:not(.searchbar-engine-menuitem)
{-moz-binding:url("chrome://global/content/bindings/menu.xml#menuitem-iconic-noaccel")!important}

will make those three icons show, but you'll still have to adjust margins/padding for alignment

Hi

I'm using this extension https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/extended-statusbar/ to show load speed and other loading values, like You can see on screen, bar is quite long and infos are only in 1/3 parts of length:

post-375134-0-18344800-1300375843.jpg

So I was wonder if there is possibility to change this bar length to red line and make it bit flexible, so if there is more infos, bar will be bit longer or shorter.

lol, I hope it is clear?

Can some one help me fix this code so it's updated for Firefox 4? It was made way back in Firefox 2 I think when app tabs didn't exist. :laugh:

Right now it works just fine but it widens the app tabs as well and that sort of breaks things:

@-moz-document url("chrome://browser/content/browser.xul") {
tab[selected="true"] {
min-width: 250px !important;
}
tab:not([selected="true"]) {
max-width: 150px !important;
}
/* comment the following if you find the resize on hover bothersome */
tab:not([selected="true"]):hover {
min-width: 250px !important;
}
}

Also, does anyone know about using gdipp.dll with Firefox 4? I currently only have the 64-bit version installed but I read that only works with 64-bit programs (oddly enough..) and I would need to install the x86 version to make it work with non 64-bit programs like firefox. If it can eve work with firefox that is.

So you want to avoid that this code is affecting app tabs right?

If that is what you mean try this:

tab:not([pinned])[selected="true"] {
min-width: 250px !important;
}
tab:not([pinned]):not([selected="true"]) {
max-width: 150px !important;
}
/* comment the following if you find the resize on hover bothersome */
tab:not([pinned]):not([selected="true"]):hover {
min-width: 250px !important;
}

So you don't want this code to work for app tabs right?

If this is what you mean try this:

tab:not([pinned])[selected="true"] {
min-width: 250px !important;
}
tab:not([pinned]):not([selected="true"]) {
max-width: 150px !important;
}
/* comment the following if you find the resize on hover bothersome */
tab:not([pinned]):not([selected="true"]):hover {
min-width: 250px !important;
}

That works but it seems to restrict tabs to the min-width until the tab is hovered.

Edit: fixed.. I just removed the min-width part. Thanks! And welcome to Neowin! :yes:

Thank you :)

Isn't this code supposed to restrict the min-width?

Make sure to check tab overflow when you take that part out.

Looks weird when it gets 250px on hover and then jumps back to the overflow-width once you select it.

Or do you mean something else?

Edit: found a bug in that code. When you close a tab while its hovered but not selected it gets a "ghost tab" and just leaves an empty space. This works for me (still with the min-width part in it)

tab:not([pinned])[selected="true"] {
	min-width: 250px !important;
}

tab:not([pinned]):not([selected="true"]) {
	max-width: 150px !important;
}

tab:not([fadein]):not([pinned]):not([selected="true"]) {
 	max-width: 1px !important;
 	min-width: 1px !important;
}

/* comment the following if you find the resize on hover bothersome */
	tab:not([pinned]):not([selected="true"]):hover {
	min-width: 250px !important;
}

Edit 2: close animation is choppy for a reason i can't see at the moment

I was getting the ghost tabs and choppy close animation as well. Anyways, thanks again! I'll try that new code.

I have NO clue why this fixed it but this is working for me.

(Again with min-width because I'm not sure what you meant)

tab:not([pinned])[selected="true"] {
        min-width: 250px !important;
}

tab:not([pinned]):not([selected="true"]) {
        max-width: 150px !important;
}

tab:not([fadein]):not([selected="true"]) {
        max-width: 1px !important;
        min-width: 1px !important;
}

/* comment the following if you find the resize on hover bothersome */
        tab[fadein]:not([pinned]):not([selected="true"]):hover {
        min-width: 250px !important;
}

It's hard to describe exactly. :laugh:

I wanted the tab width to follow normal behavior but not shrink past the 150px width no matter what. Not be restricted to 150px until it's hovered. I hope that makes sense because I'm not sure exactly how to describe what I was trying to achieve.

So until the tab bar is filled up the tab width would stay at 250px and then shrink but not get smaller than 150px??? I don't know, again I hope it makes sense because I'm just confusing myself, now. :rofl:

So ALL tabs are supposed to be 250px until overflow

With overflow only the selected tab is supposed to be 250px, all other tabs normal behavior but restricted to min 150px?

Again: I don't see why tab animation got fixed but its working for me

tab:not([pinned])[selected="true"] {
        min-width: 250px !important;
}

tab:not([pinned]):not([selected="true"]) {
        min-width: 150px !important;
}

tab:not([fadein]):not([selected="true"]) {
        max-width: 1px !important;
        min-width: 1px !important;
}

/* comment the following if you find the resize on hover bothersome */
        tab[fadein]:not([pinned]):not([selected="true"]):hover {
        min-width: 250px !important;
}

tab:not([pinned])[selected="true"] {
        min-width: 250px !important;
}

tab:not([pinned]):not([selected="true"]) {
        min-width: 150px !important;
}

tab:not([fadein]):not([selected="true"]) {
        max-width: 1px !important;
        min-width: 1px !important;
}

/* comment the following if you find the resize on hover bothersome */
        tab[fadein]:not([pinned]):not([selected="true"]):hover {
        min-width: 250px !important;
}

Can't edit my post so..yeah..new post. I found a flaw in this. It breaks the tabs in the stratiform addon. :wacko:

What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want the selected tab to be larger than the inactive ones?

What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want the selected tab to be larger than the inactive ones?

I was trying to make it so that when I had a lot of tabs open the selected tab (but not pinned tabs) would be the full 250px width, and also the hovered tab resizes to full width as well so I can see the name. Not a huge deal if it can't be made to work without breaking other addons.

I see. Give this a try:

.tabbrowser-tab[fadein] {
  max-width: 150px !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab[fadein]:not([pinned])[selected],
.tabbrowser-tab[fadein]:not([pinned]):hover {
  width: 250px !important;
  max-width: 250px !important;
}

    • I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.
    • It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
